[00:00.03]Oh draw near each young lover
[00:06.66]Give ear to my story that bears my sad mournful tale
[00:16.77]Come and join me in chorus and lend me your pity
[00:25.30]Whilst I my misfortune bewail
[00:31.84]The grief of my poor heart no tongue can disclose
[00:38.86]My cheeks are now pale they once bloomed like the rose
[00:47.62]And it''s all for a young man whom I do suppose
[00:55.29]Is now far from sweet Erin the Green
[01:02.42]Now when we were children
[01:06.75]We walked out together along the green meadows so neat
[01:16.32]And although we were childish we loved one another
[01:25.22]Whilst gathering the wild berries sweet
[01:30.91]It was to sweet Garvagh where we went to school
[01:38.10]He was first in his class and correct in each rule
[01:46.85]And I cheerfully walked home by Kilnacoole
[01:54.77]With the flower of sweet Erin the Green
[02:36.04]Oh his head on my breast
[02:40.40]And he used to reposed each evening under the shade
[02:50.49]A song in my praises my darling composed
[02:58.13]And he styled me the cool Derry maid
[03:05.32]At the time I denied him I''d die for his sake
[03:12.49]It was little I thought my denial he''d take
[03:21.34]Oh but my own misfortune I made a mistake
[03:29.35]When he left me on Erin the Green
